The Oberon House

The Oberon House Assisted Living sits in the Scenic Heights neighborhood at 9160 W 64th Ave, Arvada, Colorado, right where you can see the Rocky Mountains, Pikes Peak, and Longs Peak if you look from the grounds, and it's a large community that serves over 60 seniors with varying care needs, so you'll find it's surrounded by landscaped gardens and a new gazebo that folks enjoy, while inside there's Frank Lloyd Wright-style architecture with a Colorado feel, fireplaces for reading and visiting, and several social nooks with TVs and books, plus a library, game room, and fitness room. The facility offers studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and semi-private apartments, all including private bathrooms with walk-in showers and a kitchenette with cabinets, sinks, and a refrigerator, while each apartment gets an emergency call system for safety, and staff are available 24 hours a day to help with emergencies, bathing, dressing, laundry, housekeeping, medication management, and meal provision, with nurses available 12-16 hours daily. There's a focus on supporting independence, but as needs change, residents can get more help through aging in place, and there's diabetic care, memory care for Alzheimer's and dementia, help with incontinence (when residents can help themselves), hospice services, respite care, and one-person transfers for folks who don't walk easily. Meals get served three times a day in the dining room with snacks available anytime, and menus change weekly, using fresh, local ingredients, so nobody needs to worry about cooking or grocery shopping, and there's always staff keeping things clean and tidy. Transportation can be arranged for outings or appointments, and the community holds regular activities - fitness classes, arts and crafts, movie nights, religious services, outdoor lunches, social games, and cultural events - and there are common areas both inside and outside for gathering, walking, or gardening, so residents who like to stay busy will always find something. Smoking happens outside in designated spots, and the facility does allow pets in some cases, but hasn't listed which utilities are included. Folks get their own keys for rooms and drawers, and the place takes care to create a warm, home-like feel, while providing legal protections for all, including LGBTQ individuals, and the management remains privately owned, which some believe makes care more personal. Parking is a bit unclear but there is something for residents, though not a parking facility as such, and there's no extra hype about being the biggest or fanciest, it simply tries to keep residents as safe, comfortable, and engaged as possible, with staff focusing on personal care and helping each person keep their independence for as long as possible, always with respect for privacy and dignity. The Oberon House isn't listed for rent or sale on every site, but folks who visit usually mention the relaxed atmosphere, cozy nooks and views, and the steady, day-to-day care that keeps things running smoothly for everyone who lives there.
